Free Books for Your Classroom 3: Storynory
Posted on 29 March 2016 by Tara Arntsen
Despite the fact that many educators have access to a wide selection of books from school and public libraries, it can still be challenging to choose the “right” ones and keep students supplied with material they are interested in. For contexts with limited resources, these struggles are even more pronounced. Luckily, there are many free online resources available, such as Storynory, that vastly increase the amount of material with which students can engage.
My comments: I love stories. They do not preach explicitly, but they are thought-provoking.

Long Time No See...
This morning, when I was cleaning out the inbox of an email account, which had exceeded the storage quota, I came across an old FB message notifying that Spencer mentioned me on his FB page. Going to the page, I found this photo, which was taken at a gathering before Spencer was going to the States for further studies. Along with it is a message by Spencer:

On Admission to High School--"全面免試…為何偏鄉孩子就這麼倒楣？"--from UDN
http://udn.com/news/story/7339/1464369-%E5%85%A8%E9%9D%A2%E5%85%8D%E8%A9%A6%E2%80%A6%E7%82%BA%E4%BD%95%E5%81%8F%E9%84%89%E5%AD%A9%E5%AD%90%E5%B0%B1%E9%80%99%E9%BA%BC%E5%80%92%E6%A5%A3%EF%BC%9F
全面免試…為何偏鄉孩子就這麼倒楣？
2016-01-25 01:59 聯合報 李家同／清華大學榮譽教授（新竹市）
全面免試不是新的口號，很早以前就有人提出這個觀念，而且也得到很多學者的贊同。這些學者最痛恨考試，他們認為考試使得教育變得很僵硬，學生因為準備考試而失去了創造力，所以他們贊成全面免試。可是這種想法其實是絕不不可行的。
My comments: In fact, tests are not that bad. It depends on how they are given. An article I read years ago pointed out that in India, the entrance exam gave essay questions. That's very different from what we have here in Taiwan. Multiple choice questions account for more than three quarters of the test.

Online Oxford Collocation Dictionary_在线牛津搭配词典
http://collocationdictionary.freedicts.com/
在线牛津搭配词典
Collocation used to be what I emphasized in teaching English. In the first class every semester, I would tell students to mark chunks in their readings. For example, in Chinese, the verbs in the following phrases are the same: "開," write a check, open an account, give sb. a ticket, fly a plane, turn on the TV, etc., but in English, different verbs go with different nouns.
